Ohiwa Harbour

I had a meeting this afternoon at a home on the Opotiki side of the Ohiwa Harbour. I left a bit early so I could have a wander around the Harbour. The weather was patchy and mighty chilly at times but it was lovely pottering about on the waters edge.

It became a bit overcast so this tree made a kind of spooky silhouette. It made a great perch for six kingfishers watching out for crabs.

As I left the meeting I just had to stop and snap this last shot. I couldn't resist it despite being a bit pushed for time. A different angle to view Whale Island from, it looks like a gumdrop. What a great spot that Ohiwa Harbour is. I must visit more often.
